You can get your State Pension in any country in the world, but got to tell the Department for Work and Pensions about it.. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/work-learning/retirement/moving-abroad-in-retirement/#:~:text=You can get your State,the cost-of-living.

They lived over there for 30 years and they already have an Australian pension, plus a UK pension. With the exchange rate, it is almost half, that being said one gets more UK pension and the other member gets more Australian pension that's based on how long they have been working and based on being in the country. Back 15 years ago in Australia, they were working not just to get their Australian pension but also to work, but now that's not an option since they are both in their 70s and with health not good. Xd So before we left they just stopped working and back then we had like $280K to move to the UK with XD and at the time with a good rate back in 2015, Now in 2024 we would lose out more So as of now, they get both pensions. Would not be ranted, end up buying, renew passports, Car, and all other's expensive. We still do have the Australian dollar/bank however might be enough to towards a car, if lucky. Yes, they are all good in terms of citizenship.. We do have both PAssports, however, they both are expired XD plus the UK passport has now changed since we left the EU - WOuld cost almost £1000 to renew both passports per person. Just the three of us, Me and two people in their 70s Before we left around, looking back 15 years ago we bought a home in Burnie for $120K we renovated and sold it in 2015 for $240 - a home on the river looking at the ocean. Now that home would cost double. I heard that the house has not been up for sale since we sold it in 2015 and via Google Maps, it has not changed since we left it. We looked into the sold properties from that street and they have an average of $300K I moved to Tassie when I was 9 years old and Devenport was my first stopover for 5 months' rent LOL I rather stay in the UK, unless I was invited to go back knowing that I have a very good job that I would take on. Others well, they half/half mainly for: The health system is crap High streets are getting worse less banks and fewer stores Full of woke and different cultures taken over British and the UK is not the UK anymore, it's like Sydney, and parts of Sydney are like you are walking in China. Penson, UK doesn't give a FLIP about older people. Scray world feeling Government not giving what people want, kids playing in the football grounds - Government is bad/crap - Needs kicking out Regards Job/work there is nothing regarding that on both ends for me... Doesn't help that I'm on a disability myself...

What a coincidence, Before I moved to the UK I lived in Tassie for 10 years. Live in Burnie and as I'm aware since then the house that we sold has doubled via almost an extra $100K as it's on the coast/river with sea views. Since 10 years other than cost has doubled I do not think it has changed that much compared to Hobart. Transport in Burine is only buses and almost every two hours to go to and from Ulverstone, so unless you live in a city with a 20-minute bus route then no different to the UK.. Before moved to the UK, we were not happy with what the outcome was, The temps are getting higher and I hate the heat and summer, what made us move to the UK are: Family, mostly UK based Cooler temps Being so near and close to many locations, Can drive anyway and not need to fly Grandparents are British-born and want to go back to their roots I live in a town that's only 5mins walk to the beach, 30mins drive to Whitby and a good hour from York. Even each town has a bad and good location. I would say the UK has more history and older buildings and driving is less, as Ozz you need to fly from state to state. How things are at the moment I'm single and like anyone else can't afford things even with the cost of living so end up living with my grandparents but supporting and helping them out as age is not on their side anymore.. We end up sharing between the three of us. If I wanted to stay, would make it hard to regards money being split. Plus would take me an arm and a leg to get them to say I'm not going XD That's a thing, I do not know what is going on, Might end up moving and a year later end up being worse off.. Here in the UK, we do not hear anything regarding what's going on from Ozz I'm Ausiliaan born anyway and so that's not a problem other than renewing our passports. What's the cost of buying in Tasmania then? 3 bedrooms nowadays?

Hello, It has been a while since I last signed back into pmsinoz and I almost forgot about it. I have been living in the United Kingdom since 2016, coming up to eight years now. Since we moved to the country we moved three times and now resting in a seaside town. Eight years have changed to the point that we do not know what's different and what has changed in Australia. We know what's going on in the UK to the point that it's getting worse with the Government and the outcome with NHS is not getting any better. pension is the worst to the point that all pensions get nothing even that cost of living and just about anything is going up. pension in the UK is so bad that no one can't live on it. I'm 30 years old with my two older grandparents who are in their 70s and age on their side isn't helping to the point that it's not easy for them to move around, the last couple of weeks we have been in talks about going back to Australia to live. I do not personally want to go back however others are 50/50. Mainly for the outcome here in the UK are: The NHS system is bad, If you are sick you do not get any treatment and waiting times are bad, if you get sick you end up being sick for months waiting The government, like a kid's playground and not getting any better Cost of living, Not getting good enough money coming in then again I do not work XD Yeah, the UK has good and the bad, but then again, no difference to Australia it has good and the bad. If we end up selling, we have no other backup money, once the money has been exchanged we might be lucky to get $290 AUD however take away shipment costs plus money for a car or whatever. What's going on in Australia? Australia Vs UK regarding living? Jobs related? Even though we have a sick family member is it good to go over? Traveling on public transport like? Would be worse there or in the UK? I rather stay but other family members are in the deep end right now how things are.. What would be a better option regards to a single person once that day comes when old age gives up?

I'm living is the United Kingdom with an Australian Palsonic TV, it's DTV also HD. It's five years old and works really well. Question is, am I able to sell my Australian television in the UK? It's 51inch and it's white

I don't mean it in a rude way, I have checked it out and from our point of view it's not for me or not for what I'm after anyway. I sometimes say things back to front witch I don't really mean that. I also had an Bad way with grammar and the way I type. Thanks again thought

Thanks Pat, 30 Kilo is allot per person. That's 90 kilo between the three of us. at this point in time we do not know ow much kilo we going to have.

That's got nothing to do with it

Aren't they ship by Ship? I'm talking about stuff to send by air that we need o use once we are in United Kingdom

We are in the progress in selling to move to United Kingdom, and we will be flying with emirates. Having excess baggage is costly it's around $50.00/kg, and so lets say around $1000 just to bring extra Baggage. http://www.jettaexcessbaggage.com.au/index.php I just checked out Jetta and looks like it's the best way to go about sending excess baggage to United Kingdom. What are others then Jetta? We thought about forgetting about excess baggage and just buy what we need once we get there, however the deeper we look into it it turns out that we will have way to much stuff that we need to send so Excess Baggage it is then.

http://bournesmoves.com/ and http://masonsmovingroup.co.uk/ Do they Ship from Australia, I can't found the office in Australia

It was an large outlander Mitsubishi and yes automatic. Automatic yeah more costly.

I'm living in Tasmania, aren't many jobs around for me and other find it very hard to get accepted, depending on the job. Burnie is the highest unemployed in Australia and won't get better for the next 20 years.

depending on how much stuff you have. take it on board with you when flying over.

You can use your Australian licence and passport, I went back in 2013 for two months (cost like $2600 to hire). Booked online and then that day when we picked the car up they asked for our details like Passport and licence that you have on you. I think it's around six months that you can use your overseas drivers licence Only time when they charge you more (you have an option at the desk) if you want your other half to drive.
